Nationalist opposition party Law and Justice (PiS) came first in Poland's local government elections, an exit poll showed on Sunday, in a setback for Prime Minister Donald Tusk's ambitions to cement his grip on power.

PiS scored 33.7%, according to the Ipsos exit poll, ahead of centrist KO, which had 31.9%. The other groupings in government, the Christian conservative Third Way and the Left scored 13.5% and 6.8% respectively. PiS came first in that election but lost its majority, and of late the party and its allies have been plagued by infighting.

Political observers said the strong showing in the capital bolstered his prospects for being nominated to run for president in an election due next year.
